Recently, TechCrunch, a digital economy news site, noted that Über, the world's largest taxi company, owns no vehicles. Facebook, the world's most popular media owner, creates no content. Alibaba, the most valuable retailer, has no inventory. And Airbnb, the world's largest accommodation provider, owns no real estate, something interesting is happening." All these companies are involved in e-commerce business, namely the process of buying and selling products by electronic means, such as mobile applications and the Internet. In light of this, this study aimed to examine the relationship between e-commerce and digital economy, with a particular focus on the mediating role of customers' attitudes. To achieve this objective, the study employed a mixed research approach and adopted an explanatory research design. The target population consisted of all customers who are potential e-commerce users. Convenience sampling techniques were employed to collect data from respondents. The findings of the study revealed a positive and significant relationship between e-commerce and the digital economy, both in terms of direct and indirect effects. Additionally, the study identified the partial mediating role of customer attitudes in this relationship. Based on these findings, the study recommends that e-commerce companies should explore the potential of social networking media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram to further enhance overall e-commerce usage among customers. This strategic approach can complement their existing platforms and contribute to their growth and success in the digital economy.

It also seeks to investigate the impact of the sectoral economy on the proportion of renewable energy consumption in Ethiopia. This study used an explanatory research design and a quantitative research approach. An autoregressive distributed lag model was applied to explore the long and short-term relationship among variables. A time series of data aggregated and disaggregated ranging from 2000 to 2022 was used. According to this study, sustainable finance programs are essential for advancing and aiding renewable energy projects in the long and short term. Ethiopia’s use of renewable energy will increase as sustainable finance rises. The main economic sectors determining Ethiopia’s consumption of renewable energy in the long and short term include the manufacturing, mining and service industries. This study’s findings imply that policies focusing on providing continuous financial support and fostering international cooperation to promote the development of the manufacturing sector are needed. This could include incentives for adopting renewable energy technologies and investing in renewable energy infrastructure. On the other hand, since the service and mining industries negatively impact renewable energy use, there is a need to diversify renewable energy sources beyond these sectors. This could involve promoting renewable energy projects in other sectors, such as manufacturing, agriculture, construction and trade. Based on the findings of this study, it is suggested that policymakers carefully consider the consequences within each economic sector when formulating decisions related to renewable energy. This study is novel in presenting empirical evidence linking renewable energy use to long- and short-term economic growth.}, year = {2024}, orcid-numbers = {Vajna Istvánné Tangl, Anita/0000-0003-0418-5439; Boros, Anita/0000-0001-5330-9050} } @article{MTMT:34870423, title = {An Electrical Conductivity Sensor for the Selective Determination of Soil Salinity}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34870423}, author = {Horváth, János and Kátai, László and Szabó, István and Korzenszky, Péter Emőd}, doi = {10.3390/s24113296}, journal-iso = {SENSORS-BASEL}, journal = {SENSORS}, volume = {24}, unique-id = {34870423}, abstract = {The measurement of electrical conductivity (EC) has long been a tool for understanding soil properties. Previous studies concluded that EC measurement is not an ion-selective method, but these papers did not address the measurement frequency. An experimental tool and method were developed for semi-factory conditions in a large-scale soil trough at the Institute of Technology of the Hungarian University of Agricultural and Life Sciences. A specially designed and built test apparatus mounted on the tractor’s three-point hitch was used as a measuring device. The wear-resistant steel elements of the measuring device were also the sensors for measuring EC. This paper describes the conditions of the measurement series, the measurement results, and our conclusions from the experiments with the soil sensor. Different characteristics were measured in soil moistened with K and Ca solutions at different concentrations. The EC values show an increasing tendency with increasing salt concentration, and we also found that the rate of change of EC is different for different solution ratios. Based on our measurements, we found that the best method to isolate concentration differences is to use the test frequency range 20 Hz–250 kHz.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1424-8220}, orcid-numbers = {Horváth, János/0000-0003-0859-4248; Szabó, István/0009-0007-8335-7281; Korzenszky, Péter Emőd/0000-0001-6295-8474} } @article{MTMT:34869755, title = {Continuance Intention of Fintech Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Financing Shariah: Moderation Role of Brand Schematicity and Digital Financial Literacy}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34869755}, author = {Marhadi, Marhadi and Fathoni, Ahmad Fauzan and Setiawan, Budi and Pratiwi, Dian and Hayati, Restu and Boros, Anita and Sudibyo, Novy Anggraini}, doi = {10.1016/j.joitmc.2024.100301}, journal-iso = {J OPEN INNOV}, journal = {JOURNAL OF OPEN INNOVATION: TECHNOLOGY MARKET AND COMPLEXITY}, unique-id = {34869755}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2199-8531}, orcid-numbers = {Boros, Anita/0000-0001-5330-9050} } @misc{MTMT:34868642, title = {Társadalmi változások és kihívások a hazai rurális terekben.

In fact, the tourism industry is considered to be more vulnerable to the effects of weather variability than the general economy, with changes in weather patterns, extreme events, and environmental degradation offering substantial obstacles. Ethiopia’s tourism industry, like many others, faces challenges from weather variability. This study investigates the short- and long-term effects of weather variability on Ethiopia’s international tourism receipts. Utilizing data from 1995 to 2019, the research employs a vector error correction model to analyze the relationships between weather variables (temperature, rainfall), economic factors (GDP growth, inflation), political stability, and tourist arrivals. The findings reveal that in the long run, higher temperatures, rainfall, and inflation have negative impacts on tourism receipts, while political stability and past tourist arrivals have positive effects. Short-term trends mirror these, with the addition of GDP growth not showing a significant impact. To ensure the sustainability of tourism in Ethiopia, the study emphasizes the importance of understanding weather’s influence, developing adaptation strategies, and promoting sustainable tourism practices.}, keywords = {Ethiopia; vector error correction model; international tourism; weather variability}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2673-5768}, pages = {416-438} } @article{MTMT:34866871, title = {The Influence of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and Salt Stress on the Morphological and Some Biochemical Characteristics of Solanum lycopersicum L.

The precipitation procedure produced ZnO-NPs that were characterized using UV-VIS, TEM, STEM, DLS, EDAX, Zeta potential, and FTIR.

The polyphenolic burden was also measured by HPLC. With salt stress, plant growth and chlorophyll content decreased significantly. The growth and development of tomato plants changed by applying the ZnO-NPs. Dosages of ZnO-NPs had a significant effect across treatments. ZnO-NPs also increased chlorophyll, reduced stress markers, and released phenolic chemicals and proteins in the leaves of tomatoes. ZnO-NPs reduce salt stress by promoting the uptake of minerals. ZnO-NPs had beneficial effects on tomato plants when subjected to salt stress, making them an alternate technique to boost resilience in saline soils or low-quality irrigation water.
